Chandra X-ray Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Goddard Space Flight
Center, and the University of Maryland are organizing the Symposium to
highlight key science results from the first two years of operation of the
Chandra X-ray Observatory. The meeting will include discoveries made with the
impressive imaging and spectroscopy capabilities of this great observatory.
Virtually every astrophysics topic will be covered. These will include stellar
coronae, star formation, compact objects, black holes, AGN, quasars, supernova
remnants, clusters of galaxies, solar system objects and the resolution of the
long standing mystery as to the origin of the X-ray background. Contributions
covering recent results from XMM-Newton and other X-ray observatories are also
encouraged.
